Van Jones: Beyond the Messy Truth

Van Jones, Political Contributor, CNN; Author, Beyond the Messy Truth: How We Came Apart, How We Come Together

CNN political contributor Van Jones has said: “The entire national conversation today can be reduced to a simple statement—‘I’m right, and you’re wrong.’” He claims the truth is messier than we think; both sides—the Left and the Right—are flawed. During this program, Jones will provide a powerful blueprint for transforming the country’s anxiety and distrust into meaningful change, regardless of political ideology, religion or background. In order to create “bipartisanship from below,” he says we need to build bridges, stand in one another’s shoes and disagree constructively.

In his quest for change and positive solutions, Jones will offer a hopeful reminder of why working together is critical to solving the toughest issues and bigger problems facing us today.
